Flash is a pretty hands on software that is fairly easy to learn the basics and make really cool effects and sites.
BigSpaceShip is on another level, because they are using Flash as a Frontend to dynamically generate graphics and text with Actionscript and xml.
So I would suggest finding some beginner tutorials and start working off of there, then move to the more advance stuff like scripting, and then to another level of optimization.
Serious you probably make a really cool looking site with basic skills comparable to looks and feel to pros, but it will be really bulky and not well executed. full Flash sites need to be optimized to reduce preloading time. redundant downloading so section users will never see.
I would just read up on the stuff, maybe buy the Flash 8 Bible. I definitely recommend getting some sort of comprehensive reference.
